She's forgiving, hard working, and a great athlete, but my mom is also very encouraging and that helps me through a lot. Whenever I want to give up on something, or not do something at my full ability my mom is always encouraging me to do the absolute best that I can. An example that has recently affected my life is when I am running track. At the meets and practices when I am running and I just want to give up because it's painful and tiring, my mom is always there cheering me on to just keep running. My mom always encourages me for everything I do, and helps keep me going. I wish I was as encouraging as she was, cause being encouraging helps you look at the positive side of things.
